Hi everyone!
It’s sketch week over at the Less is More challenge, and here is my entry! I used the colour combo from this week’s Colour Throwdown challenge (orange, green and brown) for the image and also the background. I stuck some glitter paper behind each of the owls so their eyes and wings sparkle a bit!
The owl die cut is one of my favourites – it’s by Cottage Cutz – and I added a My Favourite Things sentiment to complete my entry for both challenges!
Thanks for looking!

Hi there!
Today’s card combines two challenges – the My Favorite Things sketch challenge and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge (use patterned paper).
When I pulled out a 6×6 My Mind’s Eye paper pad from my paper mountain, I also challenged myself to use different paper colours as I mainly use the more muted papers in a pack.
I used dies and stamps from My Favorite Things and also a little bit of bling to finish it off!
Thanks for looking!

Hi everyone
I have the honour of being a guest designer over at the Less is More challenge blog this week.
The theme is ‘personalise it’ and here is the card I made for my DJ brother using dies from Technique Tuesday and My Favourite Things.
I created the personalised sentiment using good ol’ MS Word and the Bradley Hand Font, which I love to use for my personalised cards!
The design team have created some wonderful cards for this challenge over at the Less is More blog – I hope you have a chance to check them out and join in the challenge!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I love participating in sketch challenges as they often push me beyond my CAS comfort zone… and I also find that I can use up some of my very neglected patterned paper mountain at the same time!
Today’s card is for the current My Favorite Things sketch challenge – I’ve paired MFT stamps with dies from Simon Says Stamp and Memory Box on this card. And I’ve been able to use some of my patterned paper (from My Mind’s Eye). Woo hoo indeed!
Thanks for looking!

Hi everyone!
Both the Simon Says Stamp Monday and Wednesday challenges have a masculine theme this week. I pulled out my Tim Holtz products for my entry! I used a crazy bird stamp and the Distress Oxide inks to colour the image, background and balloons. I love those inks!
I used dies from My Favorite Things and part of a Hero Arts stamp to create the balloons.
I couldn’t resist a bit of shimmer so I added a drop or two from my Nuvo aqua shimmer pen!
I really enjoyed making this card, but it’ll probably stay in my craft room as my own dad definitely prefers my CAS cards and so that’s what I’ll be making for him this week!!
Thanks for looking!

Happy Saturday!
I’ve been practising my no-lines colouring today. I stamped the gorgeous floral bouquet image from Avery Elle in Antique Linen distress ink and then used my Twinkling H2Os to colour the image.
I cut a frame using a die from My Favorite Things and added a sentiment die from Avery Elle and a smattering of gold stickles to finish off the card.
I’m entering this into the current Color Throwdown challenge (coral, green and yellow) and the Flower challenge (anything goes).
Thanks for looking!
